First Annual April Fools Arctic Circle Ride

With a future winter ride all the way to Deadhorse/Prudhoe Bay being planned, I wanted to check out the performance of the tires I'm using on the snow-covered Dalton Hwy/Haul Road. It turned out I was a few weeks too late, as the bright spring sun had been not only melting the snow and ice, but turning the gravel surface into a dusty road for the first 20 to 30 miles.
